The Home of RAYMOND CHANDLER and a group of fictional yuppies that
Chandler would have skewered in a sentence or two.

El Patio

4616 Greenwood Pl., Los Angeles, CA

Noir writer Raymond Chandler did indeed once live in this East Hollywood apartment court just below the fashionable Los Feliz, but the place is remembered today under quite a different name, 4616 Melrose Place, ostensibly a location in trendy West Hollywood and the exteriors for the eponymous Aaron Spelling nighttime soap opera of the 1990s.

About Me

For six years I was as an associate editor with www.allmovie.com, specializing in classic Hollywood B-Films. In my spare time, I published "Strangers in Hollywood" (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow press, 1994) and "Vixens Floozies and Molls" (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Co., 1999 & 2003). I'm retired now but I still watch B-Movies and this site is a personal outlet for my extant review cravings. But feel free to comment on my comments.
